You remember your colleagues' birthdays, jump in when they're running behind, and even volunteer to fix their slipups. In fact, you're so busy helping others with their work that your own projects are languishing. "It's alright to help your co-workers, but it's not okay for you to become a caretaker," explains psychologist Mildred Borras, who counsels people on personal and career matters. "If you're helping someone, make sure to set boundaries. You don't want to make this a habit because, eventually, you'll make your co-workers dependent on you and set yourself up to feel angry, resentful and victimized." Instead, Dr. Borras says, collaborate with your peers on projects and keep your volunteerism in check.

"I purposefully make it loud and big; it is story telling." But, when used with little regard it can ruin camaraderie and be disruptive. "If you are bringing negative vibes...it will impact how everyone is feeling." If your story will connect and bring people together, go for it—otherwise take a break.
